Re: Reading Habits (potentially useful survey) gban007 Send a noteboard - 17/09/2009 09:27:13 AM

A few questions for you on your reading habits.

1 - Approximately how many books do you read in the average month?

About 5

2 - Of those books, what ratio would be Sci-fi/Fantasy compared with Not SFF? (Ie SFF:NotSFF)

Generally about 5:0, though do read a few notSFF over a year

3 - (with credit to Tom) Which of these do you read:

Fantasy

Sci-fi

Historical Fiction

Classics

Other fiction stuff (like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro etc)

Non-fiction


Newspapers

4 - Do you read every day?

Pretty much

5 - Do you find it easy to discuss the books you read?

Yep

5a - If not, do you know what might make it easier?

6 - Do you buy books as soon as they are published?

Depends on the author / series, some I do, some I don't

7 - What do you like to see in reviews?

I tend to not read reviews too much, but if I do, I generally like to see comparisons to other books by same author / authors of similar books, to help judge if I'd like

Thanks
